of Monday. Ii the often quoted saying
that Rochester people will never be the
first by whom tho new is tried and ap-
proved is true, an exception should at
least be made in the matter of the Davis
Greenwood opera company. The solosts
are all competent to more than fill the
parts TO which they were assigned. The
leading lady, Miss Greenwood, made u
favorable impression. She has a voice Of
rare sweetness and considerable range,
having remarkable strength in the lower
register for n soprano OF her type. She APP
peared before q Rochester audience for the
first time at great disadvantage The
part OF Marguerite would test TO the utmost
the capacity Of any singer, however accom-
plished and experienced, and when 1t is
remembered that not only is this Miss
Grcenwood's first tour in which she has
sung leading parts hut that Rochester is
the first city OF any size whore she has APP
pcared rs prima donna, her success last
night might be considered indeed crafty

tcrcsting feature was the singing oil Signor

Near the close of the meeting Col. Lewis
stated that the city should never think OF
putting up building that will cost less than
s75. 900 or 100000 In less than ten yeare a
building costing less would be SO small that
the city would be ashamed of it. Mr.. Stan
ley had stated that he knew of
business house that would give $500
provided another would give the
same amount Col. Lewis stated
that he knew of firm that would give that
amount if any other firm would respond &C
cordingIy. The technicalities prevented
sl5, 600 donation at that time but it is thought
that the matter will yet be adjusted benef-
cially for the fund.
Before the close of the meeting Mr.. Vat
man said that he was never in a city where
the people responded SO readily with money
as Wichita. He said he intended to tell
other cities of the liberality of the citizens
and spread the goods news of the association
work far and wide.
Mr.. Yatman left yesterday morning for
Independence and will leave for Leavenworth
this morning.

AN UNEXPECTED STOP.

Yesterday afternoon three gay and festive
young men who sometimes visit the city,
started out in a hack with May McCiintock,
Cora Howard and two other sporting women
to take in the town. They went down Sec
ond street, the girls wearing the plug Of the
young sports and the men with the head
dress of the girl Their boistrous conduct
attracted the attention of Tom and Jap who
followed them to the Museum and here ar
rested the whole carriage load. They were
driven to the cooler. crowd Of boys and
loafers close behind anxious to catch a
glimpse of the party. All were locked up
and after remaining in the prison for two
hours were dismissed, leaving with the city

MEMS MEETING.

The young mems meeting at the PresbY-
terrain church on Sunday afternoon was but
a fitting expression of the high regard enter
tanned by the men of this city for Mr.. Vat
man.
In the past few days during which it has
pleased him to remain with us, he has made
many very warm and hearty friends. Surely
ne has been living testimonial to the bright
happy joyous christianity he has been
preaching to the community.
One thing this people will always remem-
Der of Mr. Yatman, that is his many appli-
chile personal illustrations. Sunday after
noon he related a story of little street arab
Little Jim," and his experience in being
transferred from the busy bustling street of a
large eastern city where he had never known
what bed was nor enjoyed square meal
nor the love of anyone to palatial city
mansion where every luxury abounded and
adopted as the lady's own boy. In his
natural way Mr. Yatman moved the audi
ence from teareto laughter as he SO forcibly
pictured the ludicrous and pathetic side OF
the story The writer overheard a young
man say in the evening that he wished Mr..
Yatman would tell the Little Jim story
again.
At the close of the meeting twenty-eight
young men went forward to talk with him
about their personal salvation.
Mr. Yauman kindly and heartily in open
ing this, the closing meeting
of the series, thanked the board
of directors for inviting him to labor
with them and he considered it a great
privilege, also thanking the young men fol
their hearty, cordial sympathy and help
especially remembering the manly way il
which he was received by them on his al
rival.
The meetings have closed but their effec
| for good on the entire community were
very evident TO the most al observer
The best wishes of this community follow
him in all his work. and we hope that tht
opening of the new building in this city mex
fall will bring him back for short stay.

THE BAPTIST UNIVERSITY.

A private letter bears the information that
there is great excitement down at Ottawa
over the proposition of the Baptist church OF
ansas to build a university at Wichita.
Ottawa is the seat of the only baptist educa-
tional institution in the state. DR.. Ward,
the president, in a speech there the other
night. told the audience that he had been
down TO see the Peerless Princess, and that
he had taken a continuous ride OF nine miles
on street railway in Wichita without get
ting outside of the Incorporation. The peo
pie have had great faith in the good doctor
heretofore. but some OF the au Hence thought
him drunk, and others that he was simply
lying upon Wichita basis. The only safe
way III talking about Wichita is to tell only
half the truth, which is even more than
majority can swallow.

IMPORTANT VISITORS.

The city will be visited today, probably,
for the first time by very important per-
sonage, in fact two of them. Vice Presi-
dent and General Manager Cable of the
great Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail-
way system and NJ. A. Low, president of its
Kansas extensions, will arrive here this
morning if nothing happens. The weather
is very unpleasant and sloppy and the oc-
casion is therefore an unfortunate one, but
Wichita is lively on the dullest days, and we
have no doubt our distinguished visitors will
see enough to keep them interested
